Shanty Creek Snow Report – 01/27

Schuss Mountain

Updated Monday, January 27

Schuss Mtn is open today 9am to 4:30pm with 43 of 43 slopes open. There will be 5 lifts servicing all runs today—the Yellow, Pink, Purple, and Red quad chair lifts. Over on the bunny hill the Magic Carpet is running. Red at 4:15pm. All others at 4:30pm.

Temps will again be spring-like today with highs in mid 30s. Corduroy to start the day, the snow will be firm and increasingly soft as the day grows long.

Today we welcome teams, coaches, and families from the Big North Conference for the BNC conference race. Good luck to all. Ski fast.

Summit Mountain

Updated Monday, Jan 27. The Black Lift has closed for the midweek, and we re-open on Friday along with the Alpine Tubing Park.

If you’re aware of micro-climate science, you probably understand why snow making conditions for Summit and Schuss can be radically different despite being within a few miles of each other. That’s because until Lake Bellaire freezes, the humidity coming off the lake can alter wet bulb measurements causing snowmaking to be much more difficult and challenging (than at Schuss). Humidity can also increase air temps by 2-4 degrees.
